Hey, Sandy, my wife is often complaining about cellulite and not being able to use certain clothes, I will ask her to read your article, could you tell me which is the best way to use those oils, you just put them once a day? every two days, Do you have a recommendation like in the mornings or before going to sleep?
Thanks in advance
Hey Javier,
Those oils are usually in cellulite gels and creams. It’s better to use a cellulite cream like Revitol or Dermology, not just pure essential oils. The creams and gels on their own can bring only temporary relief from cellulite. To really get rid of cellulite for good, the best way is with Joey Atlas exercises.
Thanks for the comment.
Sandy
